As mentioned in the WI-1000X evaluation, the hanging neck wireless headset is a craze.
More stable than the "bean" full wireless headset, the whole package is more mature, many manufacturers will use the hanging neck design in the conventional products. Sony's WI-1000X and h.ear in Wireless, BOSE's QC30, and Beats X, etc., are some of the classic hanging neck works, and are the first choice for most people commuting.
In addition to these regular routes, some manufacturers also want to play more new ideas on the hanging neck audio equipment, such as JBL.
Earlier, JBL grabbed the JBL SoundGear BTA, a hanging neck audio device, in front of two "creative labs". Unlike the concept proposed by Sony, the SoundGear BTA is just an ordinary wearable speaker. The sound is not directional, and it affects outsiders when playing music.
This is actually a bit like the feeling of putting a large cassette machine on the shoulder many years ago. It is a kind of "going up the wind and hitting people on the battle".
But when you get started, you'll find that the JBL SoundGear BTA's speaker configuration with this wearable design creates a subtle chemistry. Its immersion is actually not much more than the earphones, and the sound performance will have some special feelings.
Today's experience is to talk about the sound and the three aspects of wearing and using the scene. The JBL SoundGear BTA is not worth buying.
Jane is like a pillow, and it's ready to fit the body lines. JBL uses a lot of curves on the body of the SoundGear BTA.
SoundGear looks like a thin pillow. The neck may move to some position, but it does not hinder normal movement, and the gap in the middle is still wide. The part that touches the shoulder is made of non-slip material and is comfortable when worn on the shoulder.
The whole machine is only 350g, that is, a "micro-single" that is not loaded with a battery is almost heavy, and there will be no obvious weight sense on the belt. Wearing the feeling is also OK, that is, sometimes the problem of fixed shape can not be completely close to the wearer, the activity may be a little shaking, and can not be adjusted according to the size of the human body, this "hard average" for a small number of users There may be some inconvenience.
Like the author, I am a big-sized, thick-necked wearer who can take it with each struggle. It doesn't matter if you take SoundGear down, you can do it with some small deformation of the fuselage. But if you want to bring it, you need to get it from the side to bring it, and there will be less pain when you bring it.
Considering that if SoundGear expands the opening to reduce the stability of wearing, it is not possible to add adjustment structure to adapt, it is better to maintain the current size. But for the vast majority of users, the SoundGear size is easy to bring.
SoundGear's button layout is also relatively simple, all buttons are easy to operate on the outside of the body. Moreover, the buttons are all on the dividing line at the edge of the fuselage, and even if placed on the outside, it does not affect the appearance. However, the design of the button is not enough. If the operation is not familiar enough, you need to touch it carefully when adjusting the volume.
Another point is that SoundGear only has four operations of volume adjustment (+/-) and play/pause when playing the playback. The playback control button does not integrate the most commonly used gestures. To switch songs, you must go to the phone or player. operating. This setting is slightly inconvenient compared to the current Bluetooth headset.
SoundGear's connection method is also very intuitive. JBL separates the wake-up function of the Bluetooth pairing mode from the switch. The user only needs to press the Bluetooth button in the device open mode to enter the pairing mode directly. Even if you don't have your own NFC, it's not too much trouble to use.
The BTA version of the SoundGear is equipped with a Bluetooth audio transmitter. In the face of some devices that cannot use Bluetooth for audio transmission, such as a Switch that cannot connect to audio via Bluetooth, the BTA version of the receiver can be accessed via the audio interface and then wirelessly connected to the SoundGear for playback.
Although the sound will be converted many times, the loss can not be avoided, but considering the compatibility of the device, SoundGear BTA does provide a feasible solution to solve the problem, which is desirable.
In fact, the Bluetooth adapter comes with an SPDIF interface. In addition to being compatible with more devices, users can choose a higher quality output when the output device has 3.5mm and SPDIF interfaces.
In terms of appearance and handling, JBL's SoundGear BTA is a simple and convenient route.
There aren't too many fancy things in appearance, and the four operation keys that control the basic functions are placed on the outside of the body for easy operation. Although the body shape can only cope with a very small deformation, it is not too difficult to wear, and the feeling after wearing is still quite comfortable, just a little loose.
The addition of the Bluetooth adapter makes SoundGear a little more fun and convenient. Pairing isn't too much trouble now, so if you can join tools like NFC and other simplified pairing, the whole experience will be even better.
It's not "headphones hanging around the neck"
The SoundGear BTA with wireless adapter is not the most attractive thing for this product. On the other hand, this small corner on the box makes me a little "surprise" surprise.
SoundGear supports aptX CSR and will be better at transmission than those without aptX. JBL will add aptX to this device, which is good news for users who value transmission.
Now the player device that supports aptX is much more than before. Although JBL does not support the Android camp to upgrade the wave of support for LDAC, but aptX is not bad. Anyway, that is still the case, there is always better than nothing.
It may be the relationship between the position and the way of wearing, and the SoundGear output feels different from the normal speaker. Compared with the earphones, there will be more "distance", but the whole feeling is not too different. After being brought, people are actually in the center of the vocal space, and the singer is like singing behind himself.
In addition, SoundGear lacks the volume limit that headphones have, and the sound spreads throughout the space, further enhancing the sense of realism and immersion.
However, SoundGear's voice performance is relatively dull, the vocals are not prominent enough, and the background is not sufficiently separated. At the part of the chorus, there will be a feeling of vocalization. Although the whole feeling is very balanced, it is not too prominent, and there is no point to remember.
After switching to Live, SoundGear performed well on the sound field and the performance of the instrument was good. The intensity of the drums is acceptable, the voices will not dry up, and the applause in the environment is characterized by generality, not prominent enough, and the details are rather vague.
SoundGear's environment performance is OK, immersion is actually ok, but the details are really more general. Of course, you can't compare it with headphones, but the performance of SoundGear needs to be improved.
Or, if you're not listening to songs, then SoundGear can be a tool to enhance your immersion.
Users can connect it to various games, and VR can also enhance the overall experience. Because of the fixed speaker design of SoundGear, the sound is fixed in one position. As long as the wearer's head is active, the sound will change somewhat. Although there is no sense of orientation switching in 3D headphones, it is still possible to cope with game needs.
Because people rarely listen to the performance of the sound carefully during the game, they pay more attention to the sense of environmental commitment. At this point, SoundGear will be better than regular headphones.
If a private audio device that is not too personal is a simple summary of the SoundGear experience, then I think it should be:
SoundGear, a less personal, private audio device.
First of all, it is a speaker instead of a headset, which affects the people around you when listening to songs. Moreover, SoundGear can only feel its true audio performance when it is worn, which limits the user's use of the scene. You have to be in a private space to use this device, otherwise there will always be something wrong.
On the other hand, the emergence of devices such as SoundGear is indeed a new set of solutions and possibilities for wearing audio devices. After the manufacturer pushes the product, there will be more new considerations.
Now more than JBL, BOSE has also launched a wearable speaker called SoundWear. This also shows that the hanging neck design still has a certain degree of market recognition.
Back to SoundGear itself, the Bluetooth-compatible devices included with the BTA version do expand the range of applications, and support aptX itself to maintain transmission quality. But the sound performance is really a little bit worse, the price of 2299 also blocked a lot of users who want to taste early.
Although SoundGear is available in a separate version, the price of the Bank of China is also 1999. This price is still a bit expensive for a device to try.
